Summary
- Reported that Ripple will unlock 1 billion XRP from escrow on January 1 next year.
- According to past cases, only a portion of the unlocked XRP supply actually entered the market, and a large portion was re-deposited into escrow.
- Currently, the XRP price is $1.87, slightly higher compared with the previous day.
A large amount of XRP is expected to be unlocked from the first day of 2026.
On the 26th (KST), digital asset media Coindoo reported that Ripple will unlock 1 billion XRP from escrow on January 1 next year.
This unlocking procedure follows Ripple's monthly escrow unlock schedule introduced in 2017.
However, Coindoo said it is unclear whether the large-scale unlocking will lead to oversupply. The outlet said, "Looking at past cases, even if 1 billion XRP were released, the amount that actually flowed into the market was limited, and a large portion was re-deposited into escrow."
Meanwhile, as of 3:15 PM that day, XRP was trading at $1.87, up 0.20% compared with the previous day.
